    Functionality of lower limbs and its relationship with the risk of falls of the Center for the Elderly of the city of Huancayo, 2022
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-09-30) Inocente Gomero, Javier; Vera Arriola, Juan Américo
    This study aims to determine the relationship between functionality, specifically lower limb strength and flexibility, in older adults at the Senior Citizens' Center in Huancayo and the risk of falls. Three tests were used: the five times sit-to-stand test, the maximum reach test in sitting, and the Tinetti test. These tests were conducted in January and February of 2022 on 90 eligible participants at the Senior Citizens' Center in Huancayo who agreed to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria included dependence for movement and perception issues. After tabulating the results, issues related to strength and flexibility were identified, as well as fall risk levels. However, the relationship between the study variables was inconsistent, which was attributed to the inadequacy of the tests used for this population. It was recommended to complement these tests with others in future studies.
